I say Pidgin because I think it's the most popular messenger client on Ubuntu (or is it?). Anyway...
Have you ever put up a status message like so: "leaving for work in 15 minutes", then an hour later, it still says "leaving for work in 15..."?
Is there a Pidgin plug-in that makes timed status messages possible?
To illustrate (with status message): "Going for a nap in 5 minutes, DND"
- After the post, a timer dynamically changes that '5' every minute until it reaches 0.
- possibly, it will change to a new status message if the user prepared such when timer reaches 0.
- not limited to minutes; could be in any time format and unit (hh:mm, ss, or dd)
- not limited to countdowns; could be a counter
Going back to the question, is there a Pidgin plug-in for timed status messages? If there isn't, what are your thoughts on this?
